Hey Reader, Are you going to the holiday party this weekend? I'm not sure I have enough energy or capacity to go. Parties with a bunch of people I don’t know aren’t my thing. But I like to support the friends who host. What do you wear to these things? What did you wear to holiday parties last year? Does it still fit? I tried on the maroon cords I wore to last year's Solstice Party. They don't fit. Ugh. I hate having to replace clothes. Holiday stress and obligations make it easy for negative body image to creep in. It doesn’t matter if it’s a party, a deadline for your job, or seeing family you haven't seen in 12 months, your body goes through stress and attunement disruptors daily. Here are 3 tips to calm your nerves so you can have less negative body image during the holidays or anytime! 12-ish minutes :) What helps you cope with stress during the holidays (or any time) to “just get through it?” For additional tips to reduce stress this holiday season, check out these episodes from the Savor Food and Body Podcast archives: Activate Stress Resilience in Your 40s Destress Your Relationship with Food Enjoy the weekend savoring food and your body!

Have you ever had an affair with food, Reader? Truth. I had a lustful affair with food in my 20s and 30s - especially during the holidays. My relationship with food was fraught with rules and conditions. My healthy eating habits were more about not eating and less about health During the holidays, I gave myself seasonal permission to eat chocolate, baked goods, and other foods that were off-limits for the rest of the year. From Thanksgiving to New Year's, I'd sneak holiday foods, binge on...
Reader! Gaw, what can't I get my shitake together? I used to bake cookies, host parties, make holiday meals, and look reasonably put together doing it all. Now, I'm lucky if I remember to take the Costco mac'n cheese out of the freezer with enough time to thaw before my kid gets home from soccer - and don't even look at the pile of laundry and dishes that are mocking me from the corner of the kitchen. I'm just so tired all the time! I got no more f*cks to give! You too? Deep breaths. Not your...
Where do you stand on canned cranberry sauce, Reader? "It's not Thanksgiving unless you hear that slurrrp, plop as the cranberry sauce exits the can," said one of my grad school housemates. With rings of the can tattooed loud and proud around the middle of the burgundy-colored jello-like cylinder, that sound made the holiday for her, not in my world. I'm NOT team-canned cranberry sauce.
